About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for a sole source procurement by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
ICE, through its Office of Acquisition Management, proposes to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract to Amentum Services Inc. (located at 4800 Westfields Blvd., Suite 400, Chantilly, VA 20151) for detention and facility management services at Camp East Montana on a sole source basis under 41 U.S.C. §3304(a)(1). The estimated total contract value, including options, is $1,229,179,038.02, comprising a 7-month base period valued at $452,855,435.06 and two 6-month option periods each valued at $388,161,801.48. Funding is provided through One Big Beautiful Bill Act appropriations on a multi-year basis. The contract will be subject to Service Contract Act wage determinations and RFO Part 15 pricing requirements. The solicitation number is marked as TBD, with a pre-solicitation notice anticipated for publication by March 11, 2026.
The justification asserts that Amentum is the only responsible source capable of providing uninterrupted detention and facility management services, including secure housing, medical care, transportation, and compliance with ICE National Detention Standards 2025. The requirement originated from a Department of Army task order awarded July 18, 2025, transferred to ICE for contract administration on October 1, 2025. ICE conducted extensive market research over 18 months and specific research in January-February 2026 confirming that no other vendor possesses rights to the proprietary facility infrastructure or can transition operations without significant detainee welfare risks. The contracting officer determined pricing is fair and reasonable based on prior acquisition history, commercial pricelist analysis, and market rates. Competition is not feasible due to the facility's unique proprietary nature exclusively controlled by Amentum, nationwide shortage of alternative detention bedspace, and the critical need to maintain operational continuity following the incumbent contract termination.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
41 USC 3304 (a): USE OF NONCOMPETITIVE PROCEDURES
Page - 2 - of 7
(f) Year of funding: Multi-year appropriations
(g) Solicitation Number: TBD
(h) Background information about the requirement: Services at this site were originally awarded by the Department of Army on July 18, 2025. The contract was transferred to ICE for contract administration purposes on October 1, 2025.
3. Description of Supplies/Services.
This requirement entails the immediate provision of comprehensive detention and facility management services at Camp East Montana, including secure housing, medical care, transportation, and compliance with ICE National Detention Standards 2025. The acquisition is critical to maintaining uninterrupted detention operations following contract termination, ensuring ICE’s statutory mandate for the custody and removal of individuals subject to immigration proceedings. The contractor must demonstrate the capacity for rapid operational transition and sustained adherence to all regulatory and performance requirements, thereby safeguarding public safety and supporting national enforcement priorities.
4. Identification of statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition.
The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C.
§3304(a)(1) as implemented by:
RFO 6.103-1: Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
5. Identification of Exception to the Buy American Statute
Not applicable.
6. Demonstration that the proposed contractor’s unique qualifications or the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited.
This requirement entails the immediate provision of comprehensive detention and facility management services at Camp East Montana, including secure housing, medical care, transportation, and compliance with ICE National Detention Standards 2025. The limitation in competition is necessitated by the immediate and critical need to maintain uninterrupted operations due to a termination of the incumbent contract. Furthermore, as a result of Amentum the facility’s infrastructure, only they possess the unique qualifications and immediate operational control necessary to provide uninterrupted detention and facility management services at Camp East Montana. Moreover, there is a lack of available alternative bedspace nationwide and no other vendor is capable of providing the required services without significant risk to detainee welfare and mission continuity.
